February is typically reserved for focusing on the heart and we have a way for you to speak from your heart year round!

There are children in the court system waiting for a CASA volunteer, someone who will speak on their behalf and to be in their corner. An accelerated training for Adams County CASA volunteers is scheduled for June and we offer a guided learning training for individuals to become CASA volunteers in our seven county service area. The guided learning allows individuals to take the training on their own schedule and pace.

For more information about the Adams County CASA training or the guided learning process, call our office at 217-223-2272.
